A senior Channel 12 executive admitted in closed conversations that broadcasting the video from the Sde Teiman affair was a mistake, and that the channel should apologize to the fighters of Force 100. According to him, the publication caused damage to Israel on the international stage. These remarks come amid harsh public criticism of Channel 12 News following the broadcast of the video, which presented serious allegations against the fighters. The video was distributed worldwide, used by anti-Israeli organizations in campaigns against Israel, and was mentioned in a UN report. The indictment against the fighters was dropped in March due to evidentiary difficulties and procedural flaws. Earlier, Ram Landes, one of the founders of Channel 2 News, criticized the publication and said: "In hindsight, I would never have published it, even if it were true." Despite public outcry and repeated demands, Channel 12 News has not yet issued a public apology to the fighters.
